Depth and composure define the 2016 Elio Grasso Barolo Runcot Riserva, where dense dark cherry and plum are layered with leather, pipe tobacco and cool spice over a seamless, velvety frame. The four years in new barrique feel invisible, supporting an intense core of fruit, precision and energy that drive a very long, resonant finish.

Barolo Rüncot Riserva is Elio Grasso’s single‑parcel, 100% Nebbiolo Riserva from the steep Rüncot plot in the Ginestra/Gavarini area of Monforte d’Alba; south‑facing, limestone‑and‑clay soils give the wine savory minerality and firm structure. Made only in top vintages in very limited quantities, it sees extended maceration and long aging (multiple years in French barrique plus bottle) to produce opulent, spicy, balsamic Barolos with powerful, finely grained tannins and long‑term aging potential.
